Contact Angle Measuring Instrument EasyDrop

DSA16

EasyDrop

The EasyDrop DSA16 is the mobile solution for contact angle measurements. Thanks to its USB connection the DSA16 can work away from mains electricity supplies. In combination with a notebook the instrument becomes a portable system. The manual double drop deposition system works hand in hand with the automatic measuring of the software – a short way to surface free energy.
